Robb said that he asked Sinquefield to support his campaign about a month ago and that the donation happened to come Wednesday. Robb thinks Boone County officials are overpaid and cites that as the reason for Sinquefield's donation.

"He’s a very dedicated person," Robb said of Sinquefield. "He has very strong opinions on most issues."

"We have a bright future," he said. "I don't think we can let the challenges before us now be an excuse to not plan for the future."

On election night, Robb is set to join several other Republican candidates at a watch party at the Courtyard by Marriott hotel on Lemone Industrial Boulevard. Christianson plans to be downtown at The Blue Note with other Democratic candidates.
